Medium amber color. Aromas and flavors of plum sauce, caramel on orange zest and dried cherries, rancio and Maduro tobacco, and caramelized brownie and fudge with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, engaging, very long finish revealing notes of figs and plum, tobacco and toffee, fudge, cherry, and baking spices, rancio, chicory, and and nutella. A bold and decadent treat dripping with spices, dried red fruits, and billowing expressive flavors of smoke and oak.
